Serve Illinois & AmeriCorps
We are proud to partner with Serve Illinois, which oversees all aspects of program administration and training for the AmeriCorps program. AmeriCorps provides trained, dedicated people to help non-profit organizations accomplish their missions, and in Illinois 1,800+ volunteers support our communities. Our region's programming is funded in part by the Corporation for National and Community Service and Serve Illinois, and we are grateful for their support.
